Autism Assessments (3 Years to Adult)

Within 3CCAA, we carry out autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments, based on UK best practice models, which are designed strictly in line with the latest research and meet or exceed government standards including the GOLD standard recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Our professionally accredited assessor will use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview (ADI-R) techniques, both of which are nationally recognised assessments.

ADOS-2 is a protocol that consists of a series of structured and semi-structured tasks involving interaction between the examiner and the subject.  The examiner observes and identifies segments of the subject's behavior and assigns these to predetermined observational categories.  The observations are categorised to produce quantitative scores that will allow the potential diagnosis of autism or related autism spectrum disorders, allowing a standardized assessment of autistic symptoms. 

ADI-R is a complimentary assessment and comprises a structured interview conducted with the parents of the referred individual and covers the subject's full developmental history.
